- MFLNomad IIYou don't say what brand WH, but the suburban heaters often have the electric switch on the outside lower left.
Jerry - donn0128Explorer IILower left corner on the water heater turns on the electric element.

- TCBaxterExplorerThat was it! Thanks everyone
- wingsfan20ExplorerMake sure the heater is full before switching on power. If not you will blow heating element instantly. I usually switch the heater off and also switch off the circuit breaker in converter panel.
- That switch just enables the electric element. Propane would need to be turned off separately. Nothing wrong with using both when fast recovery is needed.
- TCBaxterExplorerNothing happened when the switch was turned on. Had to shut off and go back to propane.
- Heiny57ExplorerThere should be a switch mounted inside the camper some where.
- TCBaxterExplorerThat's what I thought but haven't located it yet
- VulcanmarsExplorerSome have two switches, mine only has the one outside. Check the breaker for the water heater if it's not tripped the element may be shot.
